What Is Worrying You?

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a focused tool designed to help students shift from negative to positive thinking by addressing their worries and framing them with constructive thoughts. The title “Positive Self Talk” is prominently displayed at the top of the page, signifying the worksheet’s intent to foster a healthy internal dialogue. The sheet is divided into two columns: on the left, students are asked to write down what is currently worrying or bothering them, and on the right, they are prompted to counter these worries with positive thoughts that can inspire them to feel and perform at their best.

The worksheet is visually balanced with symbols representing worry-a cloud with lightning-and positivity-a bright sun-positioned above the respective columns, providing a clear metaphor for the transition from negative to positive mindsets. Students have space to list several concerns and their corresponding positive thoughts, encouraging a comprehensive approach to self-reflection. By writing their name at the top, the worksheet becomes a personal record of their efforts to cultivate positivity. This simple yet effective tool is valuable for teachers and counselors aiming to help students build emotional resilience, improve self-confidence, and practice self-compassion in their daily lives.
